Reaction Steps

5-Cyano-7-iodo-1-phenylbenzimidazole (173 mg, 0.5 mmol), toluene (3.0 ml), tetrakis(triphenylphosphine)palladium(0) (58 mg, 0.05 mmol), 3-cyanophenylboronic acid (73 mg, 0.5 mmol), ethanol (3.0 ml) and potassium carbonate (138 mg, 1.0 mmol) were combined and the mixture was stirred at reflux overnight. The solvent was removed under reduced pressure and the crude product was purified on a 2 g silica Isolute® SPE column, eluting with dichloromethane/methanol (95:5). The eluent was concentrated under reduced pressure and the crude product was purified by reverse-phase prep LCMS to give the title compound (9.3 mg, 6%) m/z, 321.2 (M+H)+.
